This Lemon Butter Shrimp and Pasta dish is super fast to put together making it the perfect weeknight meal. My husband and son love shrimp and they loved this dish!
Ingredients to make this quick and easy Lemon Butter Shrimp and Pasta
I used pre-cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp for this recipe to cut down on time and prep, but if you are comfortable with prepping your own shrimp feel free to use fresh and just add a couple minutes to the cooking time!
The butter I used was Kerrygold’s Garlic & Herb Butter. It comes in a stick and you should be able to find it at your local grocery store; it adds a ton of flavor and melts perfectly!
